HERMISTON
Community comes out to celebrate wrestling championship
By SAM BARBEE
EO Media Group
After the Hermiston wres-
tling team won its team eighth
title in nine years, Hermiston
High School honored its state
participants with an assem-
bly Thursday afternoon.
The Dawghouse was full
of students and community
members and had one side
RIWKHJ\PHQWLUHO\¿OOHG$I-
ter each coach and wrestler
were introduced to rousing
applause, head coach Shaun
Williams took the micro-
phone and addressed the
crowd, thanking the student
body for their support as well
as the community.
“I don’t have too much
to say,” he said to the crowd.
“Other than thanks for all
your support — the commu-
nity, the school district, the
students. Thanks for every-
thing you have done — your
support throughout the sea-
son. Without you guys, I don’t
think we could have done it,
and I’m happy to bring back
another state title.”
Since Williams has been
in Hermiston, he knows
no better. He’s won three
state championships in his
three years in Hermiston
after being hand-picked by
Hermiston coaching legend
Curt Berger. During those
three years, Hermiston has
placed 26 wrestlers and has
produced seven individual
champions. He was named
5A Wrestling Coach of the
Year for the 2014-15 season.
For him, state champion-
ships aren’t the most import-
ant thing. It’s wrestling to
one’s potential.
“The state championship
is probably the most import-
ant event on the calendar
for you,” he said Thursday.
“Hands down. I don’t care
what happened the rest of
the season. So everything
that we do during the season
culminates at the state tour-
nament. So there’s no doubt
about that. But, in terms of
winning and losing, like I tell
my kids: if the best that we
FDQGRLVVHFRQGLV¿IWKZH
EHWWHU WDNH VHFRQG IRU ¿IWK
That’s our goal. We need to
live up to our potential.”
That potential has consis-
tently brought in state title
after state title. There almost
isn’t enough room on the
north wall of the Dawghouse
because of all the wrestling
banners that hang there.
Bob Coleman, who was
the runner-up at 170 pounds
this weekend, says it meant a
lot to him and his team that
so many peers and commu-
nity members showed up to

congratulate the Bulldogs on
their successful season.
But he wouldn’t go so far
as to say that the Hermiston
wrestling team solely rep-
resents the town of Hermis-
ton. Sure, he said, the wres-
tling team has been dominant
— and the eight titles in nine
years agrees with that obser-
vation — but he said Herm-
iston athletics as a whole are
just an indication of where
Hermiston is as a community.
“I think the athletics at
Hermiston … I would put
it more on the athletics of
Hermiston than just wres-
tling,” he said. “With wres-
tling, we’ve found a little
niche, like watermelons and
Hermiston. Where it’s known
everywhere and pretty fric-
kin’ amazing. I mean, every-
one loves Hermiston water-
melons. Hermiston wrestling
— my freshman year we were
25th in the nation in rankings.
It’s not all of Hermiston, but
it’s a good side of it.”
Coleman mentioned the
boys cross country team
which is known statewide.
He mentioned the girls bas-
ketball team which is the top
seed heading into the state
tournament. Then there’s the
football team that won its
¿UVWVWDWHWLWOHLQ1RYHPEHULQ
convincing and dominating
fashion. He mentioned the
speech and debate program
which, in just its third year,
already has state champions.
He mentioned the chess club
which is growing and quick-
ly becoming successful.
“It’s just showing that
Hermiston’s on the rise,”
Coleman said. “We have new
schools in Hermiston. It’s
showing through the com-
munity’s support. It’s show-
ing through the athletic pro-

In Coleman’s mind, not
only does the full gym Thurs-
day afternoon speak to the
level of support for the wres-
tling team and athletics as a
whole, but it speaks to the lev-
el of growth in the town. As
the town has grown, so has the
